Blepharoplasty (a.k.a. eyelid surgery or eyelid lift) is a surgical procedure that restores a bright, well-rested appearance by surgically treating sagging upper eyelids and tired appearing lower eyelids. This surgery is usually performed for cosmetic reasons to allow more light to shine on the eyes and to eliminate dark circles; it will also improve eyesight in patients who have drooping upper eyelids that obstruct vision.
Upper eyelid surgery requires the removal of excess skin, and for some patients, tightening the underlying muscle structure. Lower eyelid surgery can involve removing fat deposits or treating saggy lower eyelids. When the surgery is performed at Marcus Medical, precision surgical techniques make all the difference in the outcome. We are committed to achieving surgical results that look natural, not visibly the result of surgery – a refreshed, elegant, more youthful look.
Dr. Marcus may employ an innovative technique to address hollows beneath the eyes. With precision injections of dermal fillers or natural fat transfer, this aesthetic concern can be resolved. In some cases, an incision is placed within or just below the lower lid eyelashes. When healed, the incision is virtually invisible. Excess fat, skin, and muscle are addressed to achieve the changes you envision, appearing refreshed and natural.
